EC correcting to 12.75m+

Nah, this is o/u 450M and 500M is probably not even one SD off base case in a reasonable mental model. The rooting to what the first movie did and then the below average CBM multiple narratives being pushed are silly. The appeal is wide as the lore is taking hold. It'll have the fanatics watching it multiple times as well as the broad viewership of an animated movie in summer

This is not meant to take anything away from Mario, but Spider-Man is a far more saturated character in non-game media. That the animated version is working on the level of live action is pretty crazy, especially with another on the way in March. They've created a second and probably third Spider-Man persona on top of the original (Peter Parker) that people legitimately care about...no small feat!

Corona/Streaming: The End of Box Office As We Know It?
Rumpot replied to Eric Loves Rey's topic in Box Office Discussion
This is different in the sense it replaces a social experience with pure consumption. This isn't just consolidation of hardware -
Corona/Streaming: The End of Box Office As We Know It?
Rumpot replied to Eric Loves Rey's topic in Box Office Discussion
Agreed. Direct to streaming is still very much unproven as far as the economics eventually working out. Don't let the stock market convince you differently. Theater release of a successful movie can offer tremendous returns immediately AND advertise the eventual streaming release. That said the box office studios are independent...and to think they would come together to save the box office...I just don't know. But they absolutely should. If theaters disappear then Disney better hope Star Wars and Marvel stay popular forever. Which we know very well will not happen. (not to mention a similarly wonderful economic situation Disney risks disrupting further when it comes to the cable bundle) -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

I haven't posted in over a year (I think) but I accept this judgement as quite fair! It says something when a person who doesn't post (me) feels annoyed enough that they are compelled to. Anyway, thanks. And...nice to see you as a moderator (dunno when that happened, but seems a good choice) -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

I guess if there are people who simply pine for the movie to flop due to some distorted internal mechanism by which this gives them pleasure then have at it... In the end, you're missing out. There'll be people who watch the movie and enjoy it. There'll be people who analyze the box office of the movie and enjoy it. And unfortunately you're going to miss all that to instead follow some hollow compulsion to annoy people with no payoff -
In my opinion, if someone completely random hurts your enjoyment on a movie forum on a consistent basis then block/ignore them. Not saying to ignore someone just because they don't agree with you as that's not a big deal...but some people are literally here to annoy you as their primary goal. This isn't Thanksgiving with the extended family or your workplace where you have to just take it....don't let someone random hurt your experience on a forum you come to for mutual information/enjoyment/escape from the grind.

Aw man I wanted to be the one who stands out by something that is quite likely is actually impossible. Congrats -

I'm still waiting/hoping someone has an explanation for how Harry Potter DH2 made 43M from only midnight showings in 2011. Anyone? -

How does 300M hype feel compared to 250M hype? The last time I "felt" 300M hype was the movie Greta...that did not turn out to be the case. -
It IS filler. But it's meant as filler for Disney streaming. Unlike Netflix Disney will have back "most" of the money for this piece of streaming content at the theater upfront though. I think people are failing to see the power of this business model. And of course the Disney ecosystem us built to monetize 10 different other ways.
